Safety precautions

Information for parents

Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use. Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your children.

Remember to comply with legal requirements and local restrictions when using the phone. For example, in aeroplanes, petrol stations, hospitals or while driving.

Mobile phones can interfere with the functioning of medical devices such as hearing aids or pacemakers. Keep a distance of at least 20cm/9 inches between the phone and pacemaker. Whilst using the mobile phone, hold it to the ear furthest away from the pacemaker. For more information consult your doctor.

Small parts such as the SIM card, dust cap, lens ring and lens cap can be dismantled and swallowed by small children. The phone must therefore be stored out of the reach of small children.

The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit (V) must not be exceeded. Otherwise the charging device may be destroyed.The power supply must be plugged into an easily accessible AC mains power socket when charging the battery. The only way to turn off the charging device after charging the battery is to unplug it.

Do not place the phone near to electromagnetic data carriers such as credit cards and floppy disks. Information stored on them could be lost.

Ref.No.: A31008-H3250-A1-2-7619

*A5B00075846172*

Only use original batteries (100% mercury-free) and -charging devices. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and property.The battery could explode, for instance.

Tones, music and handsfree talking are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to your ear when it rings or when you have switched on the handsfree function. Otherwise you risk serious permanent damage to your hearing.

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use ear- or headphones at high volume.You can adapt over time to a higher volume, which may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set your volume to a safe level. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of your system.

You may only open the phone to replace the battery (100 % mercuryfree) or SIM card. You must not open the battery under any circumstances. All other changes to this device are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the guarantee.

The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and PCs.

Use only original accessories. This will avoid potential risks to health or property and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.

Improper use will invalidate the guarantee! These safety instructions also apply to original accessories.

Getting started

Using the SIM card/battery

Your phone's display is delivered with a protective film. Remove this film before getting started. The service provider supplies you with a SIM card on which all the important data for your account is stored. If the SIM card is credit card-sized, snap out the smaller segment and trim any rough edges.

Always switch off phone before removing the battery!

Only 3V and 1.8V SIM cards are supported. Please contact your service provider if you have an older card.

Release and open battery cover

Close battery cover

Charge battery

The battery is not fully charged when delivered. Plug charger cable into the bottom of the phone, plug power supply unit into a mains power socket and charge for at least two hours. The power supply unit heats up when used for long periods. This is normal and not dangerous.

Insert SIM card

When charging is in progress displayed.

Charging time

An empty battery is fully charged after about 2 hours. Charging is only possible within a temperature range of +5 °C to +40 °C. If the temperature rises/falls 5 °C above/below this, the charge symbol flashes a warning. The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded (Operating time, p. 12).

Charge level display during operation (empty - full):

A beep sounds when the battery is nearly empty. The charge level of the battery is only displayed correctly after an uninterrupted charging/discharging cycle. You should therefore not remove the battery

unnecessarily and where possible not terminate the charging process early.

Care and maintenance

Your phone has been designed and manufactured to the highest of standards and should be treated with great care. The suggestions below will help you to enjoy your phone for many years.

• Protect your phone from moisture and humidity. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. Nevertheless, should your phone become wet, disconnect it immediately from the power supply to avoid electric shock. Do not place your phone (even to dry it) on/in a source of heat such as a microwave oven, oven or radiator. The phone may become overheated and possibly explode.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts may be damaged and the casing may become deformed and discoloured.

• Do not store your phone in hot environments (e.g. vehicle instrument panel in the summer). High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not store your phone in cold environments. When the phone warms up again (to its normal ambient temperature), moisture can form inside the phone, which may damage electronic circuit boards.

• Do not drop, knock or shake your phone. Rough handling can damage internal circuit boards!

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the phone!

The suggestions given above apply equally to your phone, battery, charger and all accessories. If any of these parts is not working properly, obtain fast and reliable help at our service centres.

Battery quality statement

The capacity of your mobile phone battery will reduce each time it is charged/emptied. Storage at too high or low temperatures will also result in a gradual capacity loss. As a result the operating time of your mobile phone may be considerably reduced, even after a full recharge of the battery.

Regardless of this, the battery has been designed and manufactured so that it can be recharged and used for six months after the purchase of you mobile phone. After six months, if the battery is clearly suf-

fering from loss of performance, we recommend that you replace it. Please buy only original batteries.

Display quality declaration

For technological reasons, a few small dots with different colours may appear in the display in exceptional cases.

Just remember that the appearance of brighter or darker dots generally does not mean that a fault has occurred.

SAR

European Union (RTTE) and international (ICNIRP)

INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE / SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)

THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and was adopted into the European Standard EN 50360 and into

other national standards. The CE mark demonstrates that the EU requirements are met.

The highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.50 W/kg a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than the head, such as directly on the body. In this case, the limits are met too.

As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network.

The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you nevertheless want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
